Problem of Bottled supar.

The author of s'Under the Punkah" tells an amusing incident of his life in h. dia. He had given to tame monkey a lump of sugar inside corked bottle. The monkey was of an inquiring kind, and the effort to get at the mystery-and the sugar-nearly killed him.
 Sometimes, in an impulse of disgust, he would throw the bottle away, out of his reach, and then be distracted until it was given back to him.
 At other times he would sit with a countenance of the most intense deiec- tion, contemplating the bottled sugar, and then, as if pulling himself together for another effort at solution, would sternly take up the problem afresh and gaze into the bottle. He would tilt it up one way and try to drink the sugar through the cork, and then, suddenly reversing it, try to catch the sugar as it fell out at the bottom.
 Under the impression that he could catch it by surprise, he kept rapping his teeth against the glass in futile bites, and, warming to the pursuit of the revolving lump, used to tie himself into regular knots round the bottle. Fits of the most ludicrous melancholy would alternate with these spasms of furious speculation, and how the matter would have ended it is impossible to say.
 But the monkey got loose one night and took the bottle with him; and it has always been delight to me to think that whole forestfuls of monkeys have by this time puzzled themselves into fits over the great problem of bottled sugar. Youth s Companion.
